I recently started taking high doses of vitamin B because I had an abnormal pap result. My doctor thinks my immune system should be able to fight off the abnormality but I have to get checked every few months to make sure it doesn't progress into cancer. I did a lot of research on it, and I found that vitamins A and B can really help decrease the risk of cancer and especially help my cervix become more normal again.

Now I'm having sever IC symptoms after being relatively okay for the past few months. I've had a lot of pain, more urgency and even blood and flesh chunks in my urine. Could this be because of the vitamins?

I'm losing my mind trying to deal with all of this. I'll have to stop the vitamins if they are the cause of these horrific flares, but I'm also terrified of the cancer. It's very prevalent in my family and I have a very crappy immune system. This is all so frustrating :(

I have heard that Vit B can irritate the bladder, especially in a person with IC. I hope things will settle down for you.
